Breakfast


Blueberry Chia Parfait

Chia seeds are excellent when trying to create This Breakfast (or dessert!). Chia seeds are fiber-rich and nutritious, and thicken a pudding without the need for starches. Consider pre-assembling several of these and leaving them in the fridge for when you need a quick sweet treat or breakfast. They can also serve as a cute, healthy hors d'oeuvres when entertaining.

Açai Bowl

Breakfast smoothie bowls are a great way to get in some servings of fruit. They are also brilliantly colored eye candy to get your day started in a healthy way. Have fun garnishing the top of your Açai Bowl with your favorite ingredients like sliced banana, blueberries, granola, and more!

Mains


Sushi Bowl

This bright and colorful sushi bowl from my book, Wandering Palate, will remind you of your favorite sushi restaurant but will be much more affordable by preparing at home. Sushi always wows dinner guests and my sushi bowl is no different.

Buddha Bowl

A buddha bowl is a fresh combination of crisp ingredients, almost like a salad, but filled out with protein atop a hearty base. This version includes cauliflower rice and bright pink watermelon radish for a bowl both delicious to eat and pretty to look at. Find this beautiful bowl and more in my book.

Soba Noddle Salad with Lemongrass Sesame Dressing

Soba noodles are delicious warm or chilled. Serve chilled with this Lemongrass Sesame Bowl and the result is nothing short of amazing. Between the gorgeous bright colors of the food and the tahini sesame dressing that ties it all together your food is both beautiful and delicious.

Ninja Foodie XL Steam Crisp Greek Bowl

The Ninja® Foodi® XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid™ is going to revolutionize your life! You can cook an entire meal, in one pot in less than 20minutes! I decided to put it to the test with this Greek Bowl. The lower layer has a bed of greek rice with dill, the center steamed lemon garlic cauliflower, and last but not least our chicken steams and crisps perfectly on the top rack. All in 20 minutes.

Lemongrass Hanger Steak Bowl

For those who find steak a challenge to cook, my Lemongrass Hanger Steak Bowl uses an ideal method to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat. You'll never fear steak prep again. Plus, this recipe will give you some leeway if you accidentally overcook it. The marinade for this is filled with Asian ingredients like fish sauce and sesame oil, which turn this colorful, healthy meal into something rich, nutty, spicy and herbaceous. This is a perfect dish if you are one to meal prep as well, most of the components can sit ready made in your fridge. Simply cook the steak before you plan to eat and you are good to go!

Taco Bowl

If you enjoy the taste of tacos but don’t want the carbs, this taco bowl salad from my book will become an instant favorite. The combination of tender, shredded beef, fruity tomatoes, and zesty cilantro will be a satisfying combination with no need for the usual taco shells.

Mediterranean Bowl

This bowl is reminiscent of Greek cuisine with dill flecked cauliflower rice and all the components of a classic Greek salad. Hardboiled eggs and chicken bulk the mixture up so you can feel satisfied for a long time after eating. Find this recipe and more in my book.

Poke Bowl

Poke is a classic Hawaiian dish consisting of raw fish and Asian ingredients like sesame oil or soy sauce. Rather than soy sauce, however, tamari is the ideal since it is gluten-free. Alternatively, you may use coconut aminos which has a similar fermented flavor. If you don’t have a spiralizer to create the daikon noodles for the base of the bowl, simply use a vegetable peeler to create long strands of the radish. Enjoy this bowl as a taste of vacation year round.

Caribbean Salmon Bowl

This Unique Fish Bowl is wonderful during hot weather with its tropical flavors of coconut and mango. Salmon is a firm-fleshed fatty fish that is rich in vitamins B12 and D, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium. All these nutrients make it a great choice for your table any day of the week. Although any mango will taste great in this rice bowl, search for one that is ripe but still firm fleshed so it is easy to dice into cubes without becoming mush.
